What were Jesus and early Christians like?

RE: What were Jesus and early Christians like?
G-C is one of those morons who think his book of bullshit is history.

Remember what Pliny the Younger reported of his investigations of xtians in 110-112 in Bithynia-Pontus.

Quote:They asserted, however, that the sum and substance of their fault or error had been that they were accustomed to meet on a fixed day before dawn and sing responsively a hymn to Christ as to a god, and to bind themselves by oath, not to some crime, but not to commit fraud, theft, or adultery, not falsify their trust, nor to refuse to return a trust when called upon to do so. When this was over, it was their custom to depart and to assemble again to partake of food--but ordinary and innocent food. Even this, they affirmed, they had ceased to do after my edict by which, in accordance with your instructions, I had forbidden political associations. Accordingly, I judged it all the more necessary to find out what the truth was by torturing two female slaves who were called deaconesses. But I discovered nothing else but depraved, excessive superstition.


If indeed Pliny wrote "Christos" and not "Chrestus" which actually make more sense given the time. But in the early second century, even under torture, no reference to the godboy being crucified and coming back from the dead.

Shitheads like G-C will pull this routine

on that but the rest of us are free to actually think about things.
